EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Seeds 



Kochia Tricophylla 



Mexican Fire Plant or Summer Cypress 



2542 A popular annual, sometimes known as Belvidere, Mock Cypress, etc. 

 It is easily grown from seed, forming oval bushes 2 to 2H feet high, 

 densely clothed with small, feathery, light-green foliage, deepening in 

 color as the summer advances until the whole plant assumes a fiery crim- 

 son hue. The small numerous flowers, borne in the fall, are also of a 

 bright red color. An attractive plant at all times, either in garden beds 

 or in pots, placed at intervals in beds of white Sweet Alyssum, or among 

 "Dusty Millers," the effect is very fine. (See illustration.)

Annual Henderson's Tail Branching 



fConsolida Candelabra fl. pi.) 

 Popular garden annuals. 

 This splendid class grows 2 to

 are of easy culture, thriving 

 in almost any soil — but a 

 sunny situation suits them 

 best. They are of long-con- 

 tinued bloom, keeping up a 

 bright display until cut down 

 by frost. (See illustration.)

Lavatera, Rosea Splendens, "Sunset" 



2618 The Lavateras or "Mallows" are exceedingly popular in Europe. 

 Lavatera "Sunset" is by far the most striking of its kind, bearing 

 large bowl-shaped flowers of a charming rose-pink color on stems 2 

 feet or more in length, which with their foliage make a beautiful 

 decoration for large vases. Lavatera "Sunset" is also very desirable 

 for beds on the lawn or as borders. The branching compact bushes, 

 2J4 feet in height, are well furnished with bronzy-green foliage, and 

 stems which make a fine foil for the shining rose-pink flowers.

in demand for cutting purposes Pkt. 25c. 



Your pleasure in owning an old-fashioned hardy garden will be greatly enhanced if you start it yourself from seed.
